Consider: After a long time away from each other, Din embracing Luke from behind and kissing the tip of one of his scars

I was going to ramble a little bit, then decided this is a great art prompt... and then realized just how fucking useless my art brain is after napping for 3+ hours after a full workday after 2+ months of not drawing for shits & giggles.

STILL DID IT BECAUSE I NEEDED THE EXERCISE.

Anyway, Anon, I have thought about these immaculate vibes on and off for years... but specifically for fic reasons, not the general "for the vibes" reasons.

I make no promises about randomly turning asks into art prompts.

#shirozora awkwardly responds to asks #shirozora draws #dinluke #anyway that was another 3 hours of me trying to remember how to draw #in conclusion i'm so fucked #don't be like me and only hyperfocus on one skill set at a time. PRACTICE YOUR GODDAMN ART

In a platonic and intellectual way I am gnawing at the bars of my enclosure right now. The Danels (Daniel Kwan & Daniel Scheinert, creators of Everything Everywhere All At Once) just did a talk at SXSW. It's called 'How We Pulled Off Everything Everywhere All at Once.' Except as soon as they got on stage, they announced that they've already given that talk several times elsewhere, showed QR codes to watch those on YouTube if you're interested, and then pivoted to talking about so much real shit about humanity, inequity, climate change, the past, the future, now, storytelling, art, paradoxes, self-care, religion, addiction, AI, etc. instead that I still feel my brain vibrating about it. Some highlights (that I probably transcribed poorly but tried my best): "The earliest cultures, a lot of them, all around the world, believed in animism. And for those who don't know, [animism] is this belief, this story that they told themselves, that every living creature, rock, tree, river, had a soul, had a life. And a lot of modern people...kinda laugh at that, and think it's a little silly. But regardless of what you believe, that story was actually really beautiful, because it kept things in balance, right? There was this really beautiful relationship with the world around them. When we invented agriculture, we couldn't just force an oxen to drag a plow, because that oxen had a soul. And so we changed the story of the oxen and said, 'Oh, actually we're not all beautiful, soulful things. We're gonna lower the value of this one thing.' And you see this happening slowly throughout history, every new achievement. We've done it to the trees. The trees are incredible, beautiful things that provide food, water, shelter, cooling the Earth, giving us the oxygen we breathe, and we've reduced their story to $70 of lumber at Home Depot. And, like I said, some of this is necessary. Even the oldest cultures who believed in animism would kill, would chop down trees, but there was a narrative where there was grieving, and there was respect, and there was gratitude, and that has been lost. And we have slowly created an entire world where everything is disposable. Our shoes, our cars, our phones...we're all culpable, we're all responsible for this. But the worst part is we've done it to the people. And these devaluing stories, they become normalized and compounded through generational amnesia. And we slowly move the threshold of who is valuable and who isn't.

For instance, modern capitalism and the capitalist workforce only works if we are able to compel people to work, because we can't force them to work. And so we had to change the story we told ourselves, and say that your value is your job. You are only worth what you can do. And we are no longer beings with an inherent worth.

And this is why it is so hard to find fulfillment in this current system. The system works best when you're not fulfilled.

Which brings me back to AI.

There's gonna be a lot of people who are saying how amazing AI is, and it is. It's magic. It's probably going to solve cancers, probably gonna give us a lot of climate solutions. This is a powerful thing. But I'm really terrified of this new story we're gonna have to tell ourself in order to accept this new convenience, this new progress. ...to imagine what [AI] will do within this current system, within this current incentive structure...this is the same system that brought us climate change, income inequality, and the general lack of gratitude and understanding of our worth and the worth of those around us. And so one of the things I'm realizing we all have to be doing...is we have to really rewrite the system story, and center what is truly valuable." "We are addicted to a system. We know how to solve our problems, we understand what a lot of the solutions are, we just don't know how to actually have the will to do it. And so if you look at us, collectively, we are on step one. We are finally, after decades, admitting that there is a problem, specifically climate change amongst other things. And now we need to be actively thinking about, okay, what kind of stories are we gonna be telling to bring us into that second step?" HIGHLY RECOMMEND watching the entire 1-hour talk. I promise it does not feel like an hour, and it is 8000% worth your time:

#the 'oh you're giving us a Standing Ovation. i thought you were leaving! thank you' at the end <3 #at a certain point i had to start pausing to transcribe #because there was a quote here and there i wanted to grab for myself #and then i let it play like #'...oh' #'oh wait i'm just gonna... #'...i'm just gonna need to keep pausing and typing ALL of this i think.' #'like maybe the entire rest of the talk.' #and then i felt the walls of hyperfocus close in #came out the other end in the usual NEED TO PEE/HUNGRY/TIRED/I DON'T REMEMBER BEING ALIVE FOR THE PAST HOUR fashion #WORTH IT #storytelling #writing #humanity #ADHD #animism #ikigai #community #addiction #false dichotomy #AI #capitalism #SXSW #daniel kwan #daniel scheinert #everything everywhere all at once #eeaao

Idea: I'd drastically improve my chinese and japanese if I listened to my audio study files when playing Final Fantasy XIV.

Aka me trying to justify the amount of hours I'd sink into that game if I started it

#rant #to be fair #i replayed nier replicant and listened to 30 glossika japanese files #i gotta say. i think my japanese improved #altjough the study ratio was like 1/3 of time #cause i played like 60 hours. but only listened to maybe 20 hours of study matetial #side note idk HOW i spent 50 hours on nier #i sure did hyperfocus goddamn #time FLEW by

#They Pull the Strings : OOC #[ do you ever just hyperfocus out a mock wiki page for a newly repurposed oc in like two hours ] #[ hrnrhfjfnfn autism <3 ] #[ also thinking of changing their design to be more reminiscent of a canine skull as crows seem to be a more modern ] #[ symbol for He.kat.e and dogs significantly more rooted in ancient mythos ]

! ! ! !  —  quick heads up that i am yet again going to reboot this blog in the coming month!  i’m closing in on 2 years writing liam and feel like i’m at a complete standstill with his story and his plots, which has in turn left me with a total writer’s block of his muse, so i’d like to really focus on plotting and building relationships of all sorts.  if you wanna get a head start my inbox and disco are open for plotting, or if you’d like to make your escape now’s your chance!  i am already working on a new blog (i will most likely be relocating), new c.arrd, finishing some plot holes (we’re killin graham in this chilis), and will be looking to reboot in the new year. ♥

It should be illegal for multiple health issues to gang up on me

#guess who had a 3 hour accidental hyperfocus and forgot to move despite sitting a little awkwardly the whole time #and then finally got up to discover that said 3 hour awkward sit session destroyed my stupid badly constructed knees #to be clear everyone's knees are badly constructed from like a design standpoint they are not good joints #mine are just double badly constructed bc they used terrible materials for the soft tissues #idk who they is in this context idk who im blaming here im sleepy and sore and my body is a nightmare to live in

[sasch1sch]

i'll never understand people with adhd who are like "well it comes with its struggles of course but at least it helps me hyperfocus on my passion, its like a superpower", like good for you for being the chosen one but my adhd makes me play tetris for 5 hours straight without any bathroom breaks while a rotation of the same 3 shows ive seen a bajillion times is running in the background

#i be like music is my passion #i play 5 instruments #and ive been neglecting all of them for YEARS #living with adhd #adhd things #executive dysfunction #adhd struggles #adhd #commitment issues #neurodivergent

Such a luxury to work in an office. Such a luxury to be viewed as valuable for all the work I do, not just the output.

#honestly a lot different than the mindset i developed in uni #because as a research assistant all i learned to care about was output #especially when people measured and asked us to publicly note how long it took to gather data for each sections #because when you do that you're sending the message that all the other extra work #(like emailing and scheduling and reading) #doesn't actually count #only the output #which led to some extremely unhealthy work habits on the part of yours truly #that definitely exacerbated my migraines #it is bad to have to force yourself into hyperfocus and sit without getting up or pausing for five hours #(or even 3 or 4 if done with regularity)
